Thanks Derek and bascule. I have now setup KDE/MDK for ALSA, and logging in/out between users works fine.
Have also put them both in 'audio' group.... I said I was a newbie so... how do i give the audio group rw perms? also changing the console.perms, and commenting out the <sound> line results in BOTH users losing sound, is this because audio group needs the rw perms. ( I,m learning, honest I am!)
